This comprehensive Teen Drug Education and Awareness Guide is an All Inclusive Professional Facilitator's Guide for Teachers, Therapists, and Facilitators. This Research-Based Guide is the result of years of ongoing research, and true dedication into finding successful life strategies for all teens and their families in an effort to ensure that they abstain from the use of all mood altering chemicals. Research suggests that moderate-intensity group-based prevention programs help significantly to reduce problem behaviors in teens and young adults. Teens who participated in a comprehensive interactive prevention program for one to four years were less likely to engage in substance abuse, violent behavior, or sexual activity as those who did not take part in the program. The study is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health. The Teen Drug Education and Awareness Guide is a 11-session group educational guide designed to address the specific needs of today's youth, their families and educators regarding drug education and awareness. The Guide is complete with worksheet activities, a rationale for each lesson and complete learning objectives. The Program is a moderate-intensity group-based approach designed to address teen substance abuse education and awareness designed for professional teachers, therapist and counselors.

This booklet discusses obstacles to effective drug education programs and suggests components that should be included in order to ensure effective programs. The first section presents six questions to ask of one's drug education program, noting that a poorly conceived program can do more harm than good. The second section focuses on convincing students to delay beginning use of alcohol. Ten warning signs of drug and alcohol use are presented in the third section. These signs range from a drop in grades to a display of obvious behavior associated with intoxication or drug use. The fourth section discusses confronting social attitudes toward alcohol use. This section describes myths associated with alcohol use and the distorted messages which children receive from beer commercials. The fifth section provides the following suggestions for designing effective drug education programs: (1) articulate goals of the program; (2) focus on the gateway drugs; (3) start early; (4) plan a comprehensive program; (5) provide teacher inservice; (6) mobilize positive peer pressure; (7) involve parent networking; and (8) build evaluation into the program. An annotated bibliography of references and resources is included. (ABL)
